Hmm, surprising I have to say, but not bad, Porcupine Tree is not a band that will allow any outside influence on their music, so I don't fear any drastic change to commercialism or whatever. But of course there will be the special edition re-issues of albums 7 months after they're released.. But then, PT already releases 651 different versions of each album and single as it is..

Exactly, I don't see why people always whine so much when a band changes labels, what's the big deal, just a different logo on the backcover of the CD, that's all...

¿QUÉ?
first my dog dies, then PT sign to roadrunner... PT already got most of my money the last 5 years.... now roadrunner will release the new album, and then release a deluxe double cd edition with 6 live songs and 111 bsides (but only like 3 years before the album is released) and i will be forced to buy avery fucking version.... man.....

that's the general formula at RR...if they sign new bands it's usually when the album is already done...they did it with Opeth, they did it with Soulfly, they did with Batzefer and now also with Porcupine Tree
the last time I saw Steven Wilson (4 months ago) he told me that there are Blackfield 2 and a new PT albums coming soon...so I guess the new album is almost or completely done.
It's a smart tactic by RR to have their bands like that...this way the label doesn't have to book or pay for the studio and the mixing and they have a finished product so there will be no surprises ahead like changing direction in mid recording...inside band tension over creative differences and so on...
so they sign them up immedietly release the album and send the band touring with its finest other bands to promote album sales.
but most of you are right...most lables release a limited deluxe edition first and then the regular edition or having them both released at the same time.
RR do release those limited edition cd's after most people already have the regular album...a strictly nerd collector's edition...and a few lucky people who just heard of the band and decided to buy the album a year after it was originally released

Good news
I mean pt signed with lava and both in absentia and deadwing were grrreat.
I don't think they'll change their sound or something in a bad way.
Wilson said that he was impressed by the way sludge doom music ''fills'' the room, he might include something simillar to sludge doom sound in their new album, but i'm sure he will alternate that sound so that it will sound like a porcupine tree sound.

A source very close to the band (my bff) whom I went dancing with last night promises that the new album will be similar in style yet blow both Deadwing and In Absentia out of the water. He is my magic BFF so I take him at his word! Normally, I would not believe such things, but considering the strength of the new Blackfield tracks I really believe that Herr Wilson can do anything he puts his mind to! That man is utter genius, and very handsome to boot!

Oh.. and might I say that I think this is great news.
They've got the financial backing now, and are hoping to sell upwards of 500,000 copies of the new album, where as the last two have moved around 125,000 units apiece.
